Sudan Faces 22-Year Wait for Pre-War Economy
World Bank: Sudan’s Economy May Recover to Pre-War Levels Only by 2047- Khartoum Highlight
The World Bank warned of a grim economic outlook for Sudan. Studies using its long-term growth model, covering 2024–2037, suggest sharp economic deterioration depending on current policies. The Central Bank of Sudan reported alarming money supply growth. Its bulletin showed expansion accelerating from May 2025, with a 37.7% rise by July. Experts say this reflects unprecedented money printing, a major driver of the soaring exchange rate. According to the World Bank, under strong reforms, Sudan’s ongoing civil war could cost around $195 billion. In this scenario, the economy in Sudan Faces 22-Year Wait and might return to pre-war levels by 2047. In contrast, limited reforms could raise the cost to $236 billion. Under such conditions, recovery would not occur even by 2100. The findings highlight the long-term stakes of Sudan’s conflict for its economy and the wellbeing of its people.
